For our first August Sunday in A Summer of Spiritual Practices, The Rev. Karen Bowles will preach on 'Money,' drawing on the Gospel reading of Luke 12:13–21.

Also leading in worship are Dennis Donovan, Wayne C. Vance Organ Scholar Michael Oldaker, soloist Charles Davidson, and guest carillonneur Tin-Shi Tam. 

Please join us prior to the service at 10 a.m. in the Founders' Chapel for reflection on last week's practice, 'Prayer.'

Catch up with the podcasts for the summer series to date. The take home exercises for this past week ('Prayer') were: 

● Ask yourself: What do you need to say to God, right now?

● Make time for authentic dialogue with God 

● Try praying for people as you walk, ride, or drive past them

You can subscribe to the podcast through iTunes, Spotify, or Google Play. 

Dr Tin-Shi Tam is the Cownie Professor of Music (the university carillonneur) and chair of the keyboard division at Iowa State University. A celebrated artist on carillon and organ, Tam has given recitals in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States, as well as master classes, lectures and education programs.

The oldest magazine in Canada, the United Church Observer, has changed its name to ‘Broadview.’  Definitely worth the read.

Editor/publisher Jocelyn Bell describes the magazine's mission as serving an audience of progressive Christians, as well as those who share progressive Christianity’s core values. “We understand this means being both introspective and outward-looking. It requires us to examine our beliefs and values, and to live and act accordingly. It calls us to engage deeply with the justice issues of our day — and to believe that hope lies in caring profoundly for one another and for our planet.” 

If you or someone you know would like a pastoral visit from a minister, please let Rev. Karen Bowles know.

If you have an announcement to make at Sunday’s service, please send an email to the presiding minister with the details.
